I am currently staying at Lacroma Hotel. Since it is off season, there is very little food being served at the hotel. There is a "closed for the season" hotel next door, and behind it in a kind of a mini mall is this restaurant. It is 5 minutes from Lacroma, out the front door and take a right toward the other hotel. We had a reasonable priced dinner there tonight. Generous portions. Very good service.

I was staying in the Lacroma Hotel in the Babin Kuk area, and so I was happy to find a restaurant just within walking distance. I ordered the fish soup, remembering the wonderful fish soup I had in the Bristol Restaurant in Opatija. I also did have the fish soup in a restaurant in Rovinj a few days earlier, and that was passable. A few years ago I had a fish soup in Osijek; that was very good too.

But what I received at the Dubrava Restaurant was unconscionable. It was a clear soup broth, which apparently came directly from a can and which had been heated in a microwave. There were a few grains of rice, but not a single visible piece of fish. There were no other solids either in the soup, but he did serve me some bread. It was basically just a plate of lukewarm salty water. When I complained to the waiter, he said something unintelligible and hurried away. If they did not have a real fish soup that day, they should have just told me that, but because I looked like a tourist, they just decided to swindle me.

Together with me was another couple, who ordered the deep-fried fish and French fries. That was not good either and they stopped eating halfway. The fries were cold and soggy and the fish looked as if it was fried some time ago and refried before serving.

I went for a walk near the Valamar Lacroma hotel where I was staying and stumbled upon Pivnica Dubrava in a little shopping center nearby. I couldn't have been more pleased. Only a couple minutes walk and a comfortable place to eat for someone new to Croatia. Be prepared to wait since this seems to be a popular place. If staying for a few days, order one of their specials ahead because it takes time to prepare in their oven. Have a beer (or two). Croatia has some very good beers. I liked the Tomislav, a dark lager.

Most of the seafood was excellent, except the mussels, which were too rubbery and sort of tasted old. The salads were top notch, and the drinks were good. Possibly a wee bit over-priced for what it was.
